Nahrungsmittelhilfe – Risikominderung und Krisenvorsorge

Der Kampf gegen Unter- und Mangelernährung hat Priorität für die DEZA. Mit der Nahrungsmittelhilfe setzt die DEZA humanitäre Mittel ein, um Leben zu retten und Leiden zu lindern.

Fokus der DEZA

Die Schweiz leistet als Vertragspartner der Ernährungshilfe-Übereinkommen Nahrungsmittelhilfe und einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der weltweiten Ernährungssicherheit. Dabei stützt sich die Humanitäre Hilfe der DEZA vor allem auf die Zusammenarbeit mit dem UNO Welternährungsprogramm (WFP) und NGOs. Die Schweizer Beiträge 2018 an das WFP betrugen über CHF 75 Millionen und kommen rund 27 Ländern zugute. Über 50 Prozent der Gelder flossen in Hungerkrisen in Afrika. Die restlichen Mittel wurden in Ländern des Nahen und Mittleren Ostens, in Asien sowie in Haiti und Kolumbien eingesetzt.

Die Nahrungsmittelhilfe des Bundes mit Schweizer Milchprodukten wurde während den letzten Jahren in eine neue, flexiblere Modalität überführt. Ziel dieser Änderung ist, möglichst viele Menschen in Not zu erreichen. 2017 hat die DEZA in 16 Ländern Programme von 20 NGOs und drei Schweizer Vertretungen mit einer Milchpulverlieferung von CHF 7 Millionen aus der Schweiz unterstützt. Weitere CHF 13 Millionen gingen an das WFP. Ab 2018 werden die gesamten Mittel dem WFP zur Verfügung gestellt. In Algerien und Nordkorea, Länder in denen Milchpulver die beste Interventionsmodalität darstellt, kaufte WFP die Produkte in der Schweiz auf dem für den Export definierten Preisniveau.

Hintergrund

Mehr als 820 Millionen Menschen sind weltweit unterernährt. Die Verschlechterung der globalen Ernährungssituation ist vor allem auf anhaltende Konflikte zurückzuführen, welche oft durch Klimaschocks wie Dürren und Überschwemmungen verschärft werden. Konfliktgebiete in Subsahara-Afrika wie Somalia, Südsudan, der Demokratischen Republik Kongo, Jemen, Nordost-Nigeria und der Nahe und Mittlere Osten sind am meisten davon betroffen. Menschen in diesen Ländern benötigten dringend humanitäre Hilfe und sind auf Nahrungsmittelunterstützung angewiesen.

Das WFP arbeitet hauptsächlich mit Bargeldzahlungen. Diese fördern die Vermarktung von lokal produzierten Nahrungsmitteln. Gleichzeitig wird dabei die Entscheidungsfreiheit der Empfänger gewährt.

Die internationale Gemeinschaft versucht immer mehr, die von Hunger bedrohten Menschen mit gezielten Massnahmen auf allfällige Krisen vorzubereiten.
